The Packers are undermanned as they head to Detroit for some Thanksgiving football.
Stop the run
The Packers couldn’t stop a nosebleed the last time they faced the Lions, allowing 211 rushing yards in the 34-20 loss. For context, Green Bay only produced 230 total yards of offense.
That game evoked memories of the 49ers steamrolling the Packers in the 2019 NFC Championship game. It felt like the Lions could have won without Jared Goff throwing a single pass.
Green Bay was manhandled by Detroit, who have shown themselves to be a more physical and aggressive team in recent meetings, and Joe Barry’s defense has been inconsistent against the run all season.
